Residential Treatment
Our residential programs offer 24/7 clinical support in therapeutic, home-like settings for adults with complex mental health conditions. Clients receive individualized treatment plans, evidence-based therapies, and structured daily programming to promote stability and recovery. This intensive care level includes medication management, group therapy, and holistic activities like culinary nutrition and recreational therapy.
Autism Spectrum Disorder Treatment
The Stables Autism Program provides immersive treatment for adults focusing on social skills, executive functioning, and emotion regulation. Using CBT, DBT, and experiential therapy, clients develop independence through structured skill-building in real-world environments. The program emphasizes neurodivergent acceptance and practical life strategies within a supportive, low-stimulus setting.
Partial Hospitalization Program
PHP offers structured daytime programming for clients transitioning from residential care or needing more support than traditional outpatient services. This level includes group therapy, medication management, and evidence-based interventions in a flexible format that allows clients to return home evenings while maintaining therapeutic progress.
Intensive Outpatient Program
IOP provides 9-12 hours of weekly programming with morning or evening sessions for clients balancing treatment with work, school, or family obligations. Focused on group therapy, individual sessions, and holistic modalities, this program supports symptom management and relapse prevention while maintaining daily life responsibilities.
Family Therapy
Family therapy sessions integrate loved ones into the recovery process, addressing relational dynamics and improving communication. Through psychoeducation and collaborative exercises, families learn to support clients' treatment goals while addressing their own emotional needs during the recovery journey.
